Sorry, but once KFRC turned to top 40 in 1966, KYA, KLIV, KEWB sounded small market.

A legendary radio station, an amazing signal, the hottest most professional talent, and unmatched production, jingles, and music. It all added up to the one Top 40 radio station that set the standard for the industry. I feel so lucky to have lived in the Bay Area & Sacramento during KFRC’s reign. While listening, you never took for granted the quality of this radio station … it is something that hasn’t been matched since.

Ah yes, Ive heard these formatics before.
When KING “The BIG 11″ in Seattle finally began to get some traction in the market, a fellow by the name of Andy Barber popped up on KING. Having heard KFRC while in San Fransisco, I wondered if ol’ Andy had done time there. KING was good, but the big 610 wrote the book. Too bad someone let the air out of the AM balloon before we could witness the next step. Now dont get me wrong, there’s not a thing wrong with FM stereo, but there is something about that fat AM signal, from far, far away. On a clear night, the skywave god would smile upon us.
This is a great, great, (c’mon…one more…) GREAT check. Thanks so much.

I was in the Navy in the late 60’s and was stationed aboard the USS Coral Sea, which was home based in the Bay Area. We spent the spring-summer of ‘68 in SF. KFRC was constantly played on the ship’s entertainment speakers so this check brings back great memories of the Big 610. I miss the great Drake jingles of that time though. This check sounds fabulous, was it recorded off the board?

Like every one above, I truely enjoyed the Big 610 KFRC. Living in Santa Cruz and in high school durring the time, I blasted the sounds that rocked the Montery Bay too and fro. I also had the time to listen to WLS and XROK-80 the next on my list of Top 10 radio. In any case, thank you all who had made KFRC what it was and will always be remembered to be. Sadly KFRC-610 am is no longer, but the memory lives on and on.
As also a fell ham radio gobber, and to Steve, I like your call sign.
Take care and keep the 610 in our thoughts

Yep, I remember this VERY SHOW, driving to work at a Drive-in in Salinas, listening to my idol JMF with another Fantastic 610 promotion! In later years, my the my idol hooked up for visits at the big 610 and at KWSS in San “patyhose” Ay (trib to DDR). And glad to say both were a big influence in my radio career. Thanks for this memory!
